HALTER...

Specification of Letters Patent. Application filed June 24, 1904:- Serial No. 213,967.

Patented March 13, 1906.

citizen of the United'States residing at Spring boro, inthe countyof Warren and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Halters, of which the following is a specification.

My inventlon is an improvedhalter and hitching-strap; and the object of my invention is the rovision ofa device of this char acter whic can be easily applied anddetached and which will perform its functions as a halter or hitching-strap in a thorough and perfect manner and Which will be inexpensive and entirely practical every par-- ticular. I

' With this object in view my invention-consists of a halter and hitching-strap -embodying novel feature nations of-part-s, substantially as disclosed herein. v v

Figure 1 represents a view of a horse with my halter and hitching-strap applied in operative position, and Fig. 2 represents a; per.

spective view, on an enlarged scale, of the de-' vice detached.

My combined halter and hitching-strapcomprises the leather bail or strap A, which passes around the neck of the animal adjacent to the head and which forms a cover for the chain B, one end of the chain being formed wlth an eye C and the other end being formed with the hooks D, and to the hooks is attached the snap or spring hook E, and to eye or loop is attached the hook and link F, said link and snap-hook being connected by the short chain G, carrying at each end the attaching-hooks K. From this construction it will be seen that the strap fits around the 1., is absent.

neck of the animal near the head and that the short chain connects the strap and prevents accidental detachment, and to the snap-hook and link is connected the chain L, the endo'f which is connected to the strap M, which strap may be used to attach the halter to a hitching-post when'an eye, as shown in Fig.

One section of the attachingchain carries the guide-loop N, through which of construction and comb1- the other section or strand of the attachingchain passes.

When the device is in use, the strap is connected to the bridle and the attaching-chain passes through the loop on the hitching-post, as shown in Fig. 1, and in order to lock the device and prevent the loop from removal from the attaching-chain I use the short chain 0, which carries the padlock P, which padlock connects the link E and hook F- when .the device ls'in use and prevents the horse from. being detached.

From the foregoing description, taken in connection with'the drawings, it is evident that I provide a halter and hitching-strap which is entirely efficient and practlcal in every respect and which can be produced at a very small price, rendering the invention useful and desirable.

-I claim- A halter and hitching-strap, consisting of a soft orflexible covering or neck-strap of tubular form, a chain inclosed in said tubular strap securing the neck-strap snugly under the head l I of the animal, the hitching-chain having its ends connected to said snap-hook and the lower link of said double links, and the guidering connected to one side of the hitching chain and adapted to receive the other side of said hitching-chain.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
